Description
When a young bureaucrat arrives with questions about the official approval for Brunetti’s apartment, Commissario Guido Brunetti is drawn into a case that begins in paperwork but quickly reveals deeper currents beneath Venice’s polished surface. As his inquiries expand, he confronts the city’s shadowy realities—drug abuse, loan sharking, and the lives quietly derailed by power and influence. With each step, Brunetti must navigate unfamiliar corners of Venetian society, where “friends in high places” can open doors, but also complicate the truth. Blending Donna Leon’s sharp, observant style with a keen sense of moral consequence, this novel explores corruption, accountability, and the human cost of systems that protect the connected.
